Clean Elections
We watched a program last week talking about the "Clean Elections" movement.
For $300,000,000.00 or $1.00 per person in the U.S. elections could be staged with Tax payer, not special interest/lobbist/corporate donations at the Federal (Presidential) level.
This program allows for anyone to run for office.
Here's a link...

Hi, there actually is something you can do right now to advance the cause of publicly funded elections. The VotersFirstPledge (.org) drive by Public Campaign Action Fund, Common Cause and other groups, asks candidates to pledge to support public funding for elections. Check the site to see if your congressional candidates signed the Pledge? If not, ask them "Why not?
See a preview/teaser of the show here:

Dear Anonymous,
Thanks for the info and links.
I was in the process of learning the ropes for linking the video feed myself.
Good stuff!
